The experience at the Center was good. I learned a lot about the ins/outs of a the Center. There was a lot of space to grow as a Yoga teacher. The current team that was present was very comfortable, it gave a real sense of community. Helping each other and having a lot of joy while doing so. The owner is a sweet woman who is warm and flexible. There are plenty of pets you can cuddle :). The location is very beautiful. Maybe a bit difficult to reach with public transport but that also gives it an off grid experience. The food is tasty and mostly quite healthy. The cooks pepare it well.

Cal Pau Cruset is a farmhouse in the middle of a beautiful landscape surrounded by vines and fruit trees where the tranquility is fascinating. As a volunteer I was able to share my yoga classes in English and Spanish with guests arriving from different parts of the world, in addition to helping with daily tasks at the place. The accommodation for me was good and the food was really delicious. It was a pleasure to share with Ellen and everybody who work and live there. I really loved to spent time with Ginebra y Olly, Shiva, Guapo Isha, Vishnu y Laksmi,and all cats . Gracias a todos !!!

I loved my time at the Center, the place is beautiful surrounded by nature and with lovely animals. I was a volunteer yoga teacher but also had to do other tasks to complete my agreed working hours. I helped in the kitchen, with cleaning and preparing the rooms for the guest and greeting them. The work was not too hard and we always had time to take small breaks between tasks and to socialise with the other people living and working at the Center, and that was the most special thing about this place for me, the amazing people I met and became friends with. Im so grateful for everything I learned thanks

My experience in Cal Pau Cruset was amazing! Ellen is an open and understanding person always willing to help, I want to thank her for listening and accepting the ideas of the Social Media Team. I really liked the passion the people here share for animal care and protection, I fell in love with all the furry family. All the staff is very nice and easy to work with. Excellent place to volunteer and be part of the Penedes experience.

This was an incredible experience, Ellen is a host who makes you feel welcome, the tasks are simple, the contact with nature and the tranquility of the place makes you feel at peace. You can coordinate your days off and visit nearby towns such as Sitges and Vilafranca. It's about an hour from Barcelona, you can take a train and arrive in Vilafranca and from there it's easy to get to the Masia. Thank you Ellen for everything, I will miss every member of the Masia.
